In the unlikely scenario of a zombie apocalypse, it would take just 60 days for the undead to take control of Chicago, according to research by the Argonne National Laboratory. Harnessing a computational model developed to study real-world diseases such as MRSA and Ebola, scientists found that it would take less than two months for zombies to take over the Windy City. “This offers great promise for countering the zombie apocalypse in Chicago,” said Chick Macal, Argonne researcher and senior fellow at the Computation Institute, in the statement. The model can simulate the complex behavior of millions of individual “agents” representing Chicago’s 3 million citizens, according to the Computation Institute. The Argonne research team also perform simulations of the flu and ebola in case the diseases reach Chicago or its surrounding counties.
